Discussion
Consider the following statements :
1. Angola and Nigeria are one of the largest crude oil suppliers of the sub-Saharan region.
2. India and Angola signed a bilateral energy cooperation agreement under the framework of India-Africa Forum.
Which among the above statements is/are incorrect ?
Answer: B
The key marks Only 2 as the incorrect statement, so statement 1 is accepted as true and statement 2 as false.
Statement 1 is sound: Nigeria and Angola are the two largest crude oil producers and exporters of sub-Saharan Africa, which is why the question treats them as its main crude suppliers.
Statement 2 is the doubtful one. A search of the India-Africa Forum Summit outcomes and of India-Angola agreements found no energy cooperation agreement signed under that framework; the only energy document found is an older memorandum between the two petroleum ministries, which is not an India-Africa Forum agreement. That absence is what makes the statement incorrect, and it agrees with the key, but a negative like this cannot be proved from a search alone, so treat it as the reading the key takes rather than a certainty.
The other options fail on that reading: Only 1 would call a true statement false, Both 1 and 2 does the same, and Neither 1 nor 2 would require statement 2 to be a real agreement, which could not be found.
